Saliva Guitarist Quits Band

Chris Dabaldo has officially left Saliva. The guitarist explained his departure on the band's official site saying:

"I feel it is necessary to let the fans know first that I have decided to leave Saliva as of 5/29/2005. I wanted ya'll to hear it first from me instead of by rumor. I'll be looking to forming or joining a new band that is dedicated to their fans and the band. I'm quitting for obvious reasons, as the band is not a unit anymore. I have been given no other choice in the matter. I love you all and look foward to seeing you again. I will miss you very, very much. I'm sorry."
